Netflix has greenlit "Trinity," an eight-episode political and military thriller series created by Jed Mercurio, starring Gugu Mbatha-Raw and Richard Madden. The story follows Commander Katherine Decker (Mbatha-Raw), second-in-command on the nuclear submarine USS Kansas, who becomes entangled with the charismatic Secretary of Defense Webb Preston (Madden), only to uncover a dangerous conspiracy.
